I like to do it right before it gets dark and they come out.They belly up to the fermented feast, drink away, get drunk and fall in and drown to death (also a possible moral to this story for humans, too, that I share with my kids when I show them the dead slug bodies floating in the beer).. 

Its hard to actually find someone willing to sell real estate at a big enough discount to create a big return for the investor( at least in my area) Its human nature  for the neophite to get frustrated and insecure that they are missing the magic ingredient but the truth is it really doesn't exist.

The elderly seller, due to health, is unable/unwilling to do an owner contract.

There are blocks in Newburgh that have been going through a positive change, habitat for humanity, coffee shops, artist galleries but there is still so much drugs, gangs and violence.  

If your circumstances do not match any of the standard requirements described above but based on facts and circumstances the primary reason for sale is work-related, health-related, or unforeseeable.

Large home will be vacant soon and mobile home was signed for a 17 year lease however the occupant is wanting to bail due to health issues.Large home is for sale for $149k and mobile for $100k.  

I will have to start off slow b/c credit and money dropped due to a health issue I went through.  

If you feel Chase, Bank of America and Discover Card's balance sheets are more important to you than the health and well being of your children- more power to you.

So in that regard it makes sense that this site would be useful to both.So far, in my MBA course, I've covered; investment property financing,rent-to-own (lease/options), new home buying and new home warranties, tenant selection and levels of due diligence in that regard, property management,dealing with the police and city hall on sealed buildings, grow-op remediation,financing and insuring a stigmatized house,negotiating the sale of a stigmatized house.The grow-op certainly brought some interesting lessons in human nature, even in how the neighbors have treated follow-on tenants in the same house!

Thank you all and cheers to good health and fortune!
